Erling Haaland has been unaffected by the "sham contract" verdict against Manchester City, according to the Norway camp he's been with since the news broke. Haaland will play for the first time since the Premier League's confirmation of City's financial rule breaches when Norway take on Wales in Cardiff on Thursday (19:45 BST). The 26-year-old was kept away from the media before and after Norway's Nations League defeat by Portugal on Sunday after reports of City's guilty verdict first emerged.
